Wenzhou was called the land of Ouyue in ancient times, also known as Dongou, also known as Oucheng. Ou is the name of a pottery. About the Neolithic Age, primitive Ou people lived in Wenzhou and made pottery. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, it was built as Dongou Country, and the river flowing through Wenzhou was called Oujiang River. Wenzhou is also known as Doucheng and Bailucheng.

According to the Records of Wenzhou Prefecture, when the city was built, Guo Pu, the magistrate, climbed the Western Hills and looked around the mountains. Standing in a staggered position, he said to the local people: "Outside Raoshan City, when you are rich, you must build a city on the mountain, but you can live safely without fighting." So he imitated the position of the Big Dipper and built it on the mountain, so it was called Doucheng. Legend has it that when the city was built, a white deer ran with flowers in its mouth, spit on the wall and turned into a cloud. Ran Ran flew into the sky, and the place where the white deer ran was full of birds and flowers. People call it Bailucheng or Lucheng for good luck.
